Daft question, which way should be opening face? Would it be worthwhile
fixing one my fence? Some advice please.

Sorry, first posting really awful grammar

Meant to say which way should the opening face? North, South, East or West.
Could I fix a box to the fence post????
Thanks

Not south or west or the fledglings will cook - if the eggs haven't
already. Not sure a fence is the best place, as fence tops tend to be
cat promenades... on a wall or tree might be safer.

Don't face it into the full sun, ours face E. but are also shaded by next
doors house so only get sun for about an hour mid morning.
I put two up on the side of our house for Sparrows, got Blue Tits instead
every year and I think they are now feeding their second brood if they do
such things. No way anything can get to them there and better than when I
had them on the fence, found a cat sitting on the box once.

should face east. Gets the first morning rays to warm chicks up, but
sheltered from the very hot south and west sun, and sheltered also from the
prevailing weather which blows from thw west or north. Fences are too low
and the chicks will be at risk from all sorts of predators.
